RSSEnvironmentally Friendly Wine Bottles Are Aluminium
January 9, 2009 · Written by Adam
I’ve been writing about beer a lot recently so time for wine to take a turn. Volute has produced bottles for its wine made from aluminium.
The Californian-based company used wines from Bordeaux and puts them in its unique bottles. Aluminium can be recycled almost indefinitely (and these are already made from recycled material) and it’s also more protective from UV rays than glass. These bottles are also lighter to carry, not just because of the material they’re made from but they’re also only 187ml in size.
This portability means they’re pitched as being ideal for camping or places like beaches or concerts where glass isn’t allowed. Available in three varieties: Red, White and Rosé, Volute’s bottle might just catch on.

This is a great idea! Have you heard of Tru Organic Spirits? Every time someone buys the organic vodka the company plants a tree!
Sounds like a cool idea, I’ll have to check it out. Thanks!
where do i find the company who makes these bottles – i want them !
sound like a good idea but the prices for aluminium far outweigh those for glass so if it does catch on, we will be paying more for our wine
